Rubidium nitride. Rb+ is a rubidium ion, and N(3-) is a nitride ion.

Kay so it would be the first one. But you don't seem to understand how to get that. Rb has a charge of 1+, N has a charge of 3-. So in order for them to be equal you have to even them out. Refer back to math class Rb 1+ N 3- ;How many Rb's would be needed? 3. Or you could switch the charges. So Rb would get 3 and N would get 1. The roman numerals are used for elements with more than 1 possible charge. For instance, Nickle has the charges of 2+ and 3+. The prefixes(mono, di, tri, tetra etc) are used for 2 non metals. ie: OCl2: oxygen dichloride. I hope I helped some!! Good luck with chem and nomenclature. It's tricky stuff!
